While thrombocytopenia and bleeding are events that often occur together in neonates, this may not signify cause and effect. In fact, one study reported that 91% of neonates with low platelet counts ...

Flow cytometry is a way to look closely at the features of cells or particles. A sample of blood or tissue goes into a machine called a cytometer. In less than a minute, a computer can analyze ...

Existing clot busters have one major drawback: They prevent heart attack by indiscriminately blocking platelet function, thereby increasing the risk of uncontrolled bleeding. Now, a research team led ...

A project at the University of Tokyo has developed a new imaging technique designed to observe the development of potentially dangerous blood clots. A combination of frequency-division multiplexed ...

Next to other complications, cirrhosis is also linked to abnormalities in haemostasis. However, the role of alterations in platelet function had previously been insufficiently investigated. Now, ...

Flow cytometry remains a critical technology for the high-throughput analysis of single cells in complex populations. Attention to good analysis practices is more important than ever due to the recent ...

Around the same time, Mack Fulwyler, an engineer working at Los Alamos National Laboratory, needed to separate particles, so he drew on existing techniques to create droplets to separate cells from a ...

Managing drug dosage is critical to the overall success of pharmaceutical intervention, not only in the clinic but also in clinical trials. Inadequate dose management of certain drugs can have fatal ...
